[nullface]

Pr0n!

[vengance_01]

OMG!!:up: Talk about overkill, but damn nice job. I love it.

[csjsi]

Awesome build xisio and great log.

[WoZZeR999]

Wow, amazing!

[awhir]

wow prue class

[InfamousChu]

Holy! man thats awesome.. love the transformation! How well does the passive work? and what about flow rates?

[[XC] NetburstXE]

Wow this looks amazing. I love the paint job. What temps do you get on the Q6700 (load)? Also, where did you get those gold metal things sticking off the side that look like a radiator? Even on cable, it took me 22.72 seconds to load with all the pics. But it was worth it.

[xisio]

fans@5v and cpu idle temp 28 (q6700@3800 1.52v) room temp ~22, water 26,5

http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5199/20080326013944vg3.jpg

after 1h 3dmark session cpu is 35, water 30, load cpu is ~65-70

in night cpu is 6x200 and full passive with ssd ;) only liang noise is wrrrrr ;/

[skinnee]

that is case mod pr0n fo sho!

Are those custom build PCI slot covers? I'm digging the mesh slot covers!!!!

[brewer265]

very nice work :D who makes those little temp monitors and where did you get them?

[disruptfam]

awesome rig great work

[Pedalmonkey]

whered you get those temp monitors??

[Loser777]

whered you get those temp monitors??
Probably came with his motherboard... Check the DFI Lanparty logo in the upper left corner.

[smee]

WOW!!!! Man you have a good eye for detail!!! :up:
I'm entirely impressed! Very very well done my friend! :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Waterlogged]

Those temp gauges can be had from FrozenCPU (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6892/tmp-48/Thermal-Star_Digital_Gauge-Syle_Thermometer_TM05.html?tl=g44c137s490&id=pkDjQfq3).

xisio, very nice rig.........BUT, you committed the cardinal sin, you mixed aluminum with copper/brass. Those Cape Cora heat exchangers on the side are aluminum and will corrode unless you are running a very strong anti-corrosion mix and change it often (3-6 months). You also connected that part of the loop together wrong, all segments except the last one should have T fittings and the last segment should have elbows like this.

dayam you beat me to it!

But yes Xisio, you have godly modding skills, hands down :worship:

But you made the biggest possible boo boo in the h2o world and thats mixing metals.

[Waterlogged]

....oh, I forgot to mention that those anti-kink coils aren't really doing anything to prevent any kind of kinking being that loose on the tubing..

[Loser777]

Your rig seems to be concerned with cooling the water in the water cooling system than actual water cooling...:rofl: Not a bad thing...
amirite
You wouldn't need all of those rads and stuff for your components unless you REALLY wanted to keep water temp low, which is what I'm getting at.

Sorry for this misinformation there, I thought he was talking about your monitoring software in Windows... >_<

[chase1]

gooood job man ;)

i think he knows that already...just wants the uv effect

[sobih25]

clean and very nice setup! ssd rocks :).

[xisio]

No way man, its anodized aluminium, and i used Faser One in system, dont worry about mixed materials.
check any page where you can buy it, ex. http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/product.php?productid=2349


Additional Notes
Aluminium special continuous casting profile coloured anodized
Absolutely corrosion-resistant
Sufficient cooling performance for all common CPUs


and i was tested few settings like:
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7963/chlodzeniezi7.jpg

and this setting was optimal for me, trust me. flow is still very good.

yep, from pump to res i was used correct only ;).

Sorry, but anodizing is little more than a speed bump for the galvanic process to start. At least one of your fittings has already scratched the anodizing and exposed bare aluminum to the coolant. Feser One's corrosion properties have yet to be really time tested. I used Innovatek Protect and as many parts with aluminum (or at least decent nickel plated copper) for the loop that my Cora's are in. Every installation of the Cora that I've seen has it set up like your lower left pic, that tells me that that's the best setup for those style HE'ers. I'd thought about serial (upper left) myself but thought better about it.

[Janno]

woooow, talk about silent computing! :P

[tinker77]

Damn, sweeeeet rig brotha!

[dnb#]

too bad you added smartcoils (still think they are ugly as hell), and using copper + alu in the same loop.

but the system rocks bigtime! Looks fantastic and I'll bet it is quiet as hell!

after all: really nice. :)

[fungry]

impressive setup.
